XL Crocodile series Banana Plugs
The XL Crocodile series Banana plugs are different from the others , they feature a high quality high conductivity bronze alloy that offers an all-round contact due to its inherent self-retaining property ( similar to spring steel ).
This is known as the XL plug since it allows for very thick copper cables to be accommodated upto 8mm in diameter or 6 AWG.It also accepts dual 12awg wires hence is useful in bi-wiring situations
The contact material is 22k gold plated and pressure moulded inside an insulating transparent shell that forms the body of this plug which in turn also hold the tightening screws. Another notable feature is that the body of this banana plug are now insulators and cannot conduct into each other even when they touch
The XL series banana plugs have DUAL grub hex screw facility to strongly secure thick speaker cables.
The Banana plugs are sold with colour coded red and black rings for easy identification for connecting to respective colour binding posts

Note : We advise the above plugs mainly for those audiophiles having thick speaker cables or who are biwiring and who need a larger entry hole size .
For our friends having regular single 12 AWG or thinner cables the Carbon and VB power series might be more suitable due to its smaller hole size which may match better with thinner cables

Very pretty looking connectors and plenty of space for heavy duty wires. I installed these on DAC 12 AWG cable like a glove and the screws fit in real tight and had a solid connection without any movement to my Brio Amp. Due to its clear design, one can even see the contact of stripped wire under the screws. And it was a nice upgrade from my previous QED connectors and they sound much more musical.
Hifimart products are highly recommended.
